These locals make the bats Bryce Harper swings for HRs

Batter UP! When many of the Phillies' stars head to the plate this MLB season, they'll be swinging bats made by Victus Sports in King of Prussia.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. -- The bats made for Bryce Harper and a number of Philadelphia Phillies and other MLB superstars are all made by two baseball fanatics from the Philadelphia area.

Jared Smith and Ryan Engroff started Victus Sports in 2012, a passion project for two baseball players trying to stay involved with the game they love.

It started as a hobby and their passion led to a business that now produces bats for 25% of Major League Baseball.

That makes them the most-swung bat in the MLB.
